“In Nancy Garruba’s True Noble, readers share the experience of characters who struggle with elusive memories of their scarred past lives and who reckon with the blessings of love those same confounding days have offered. Set in Trenton, NJ and Sicily, spanning almost one hundred years, this novel brings us into the intimate spaces of the Gemini home. It is rare to encounter storytelling that achieves this scale of grace and wisdom in depicting personal and public history.”

—Kevin McIlvoy, author of The Fifth Station, Hyssop, Little Peg, and The CompleteHistory of New Mexico
